Magical Snow

Snow is such a magical thing.
It comes down silently, slowly, floating a little here and there, then lands on cold and exhausted ground. Within minutes the world is transformed into whiteness. Dry, brown leaves are hidden. Grass and wilted flowers are hidden under the soft cover to slumber, just for a while.

Magical, because the dark and short days before Christmas are now lighter.
Magical, because children and dogs run out of the house laughing and cheering, dancing around in the snow, throwing it up in the air.
Magical, because it adds to the spirit of the season. December and Christmas should have snow.

So, to convince you even more, please watch the supersimplelearning version of "Little Snowflake". It's adorable. Whenever I think of this song, I hear my grandson, Dean, sing this song. It melts my heart.

The Duck and Cherry

Tales from The Duck and Cherry

Upbeat notes from the life at the Duck and Cherry, our family home. Our family includes my husband Arnfinn, myself (Heidi), 9 children, soon to be 6 sons- and daughters in law, 11 gorgeous grand children (munchkins), one Irish Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Hector, and a blue parakeet named Poppy (short for Popcorn)--and it's growing, I should say . . . not counting all the many good friends, who pass by.
